Calculation with theoretically permissible indi‐
vidual load capacities
Unladen weight of Trike Family Hybrid 750:
+ 75 kg
Max. cyclist weight:
+ 115 kg
Max. payload of box (Family version with child
seat):
+ 44 kg
Max. payload of permissible carrier models:
+ 20 kg
Total weight of the Trike Family Hybrid 750:
= 254 kg (permissible total weight exceeded
by 34 kg)
Result/conclusion:
The actual total weight (254 kg) would in this case
exceed the permissible total weight (220 kg).
You are not allowed to use your Trike Hybrid in
this way!
The following calculation examples no. 1-3 show
how to determine the maximum payload for your
Trike Hybrid depending on the permissible total
weight.
Calculation example no. 1
Intrinsic weight of the Trike Family Hybrid 750:
+ 75 kg
Actual cyclist weight:
+ 101 kg
Actual payload of the box:
+ 44 kg
Actual total weight of the Trike Family Hybrid
750:
= 220 kg (permissible total weight reached)
Result/conclusion on calculation example no. 1:
In this case, the actual total weight (220 kg) equals
the permissible total weight).
You may use the Trike Hybrid in this way, but
you cannot transport any other load (e.g. on the
carrier)!
Calculation example no. 2
Unladen weight of the Trike Family Hybrid 750:
+ 75 kg
Actual cyclist weight:
+ 99 kg
Actual payload of the box:
+ 25 kg
Unladen weight of the carrier:
+ Approx. 1 kg
Actual payload of the carrier:
+ 20 kg
Actual total weight of the Trike Family Hybrid
750:
= 220 kg (permissible total weight reached)
Result/conclusion on calculation example no. 2:
In this case, the actual total weight (220 kg) equals
the permissible total weight). Since the box is not
loaded with the full weight of the maximum per‐
missible payload for the box, the additional load
can be transported on the carrier.
You may use the Trike Hybrid in this way!
Important: The unladen weight of the carrier
(as a retrofitted attachment) must be taken into
account.
